[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Man, I'm sorta irritated with how some people reply... Ok, guess its time for an FAQ post.

1. Do I enable/disable Voodoo!

If you're coming from a Voodoo enabled kernel, just flash this on top, go to voodoo on the recovery main page, and click on enable Voodoo, it'll not do any conversions and will not also hurt your phone.

2. ODIN to stock before flashing?

If you've done alot of kernel flashing, or used Deadhorse, you had bad bootloops etc, please do so, it doesn't harm you, but it surely doed save the OP from answering questions that shouldn't have been there in the first place!!

3. Instructions to flash

Please stop pointing out typo errors, steps that you know are mistakenly written by the OP. He's still human, working late at nights for all of us, he's prone to making small errors. Like don't we sometimes forget a step while flashing? Spare him. This is just another ROM with exactly the same flashing procedue that's been followed since 6 months...

3. Getting bootloops? Apps FC etc?

Go to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, fix permissions, flash signal fix(notification fix) and reboot

If that don't solve it, reflash.

Try your best atleast 3 times, including an ODIN to stock before coming back to the forums for help. It not only helps the devs, it also grows your knowledge.

4. What else? Does this ROM have any issues?

At present, none. Neither did 2.7 have them, nor does 2.9.2 have them. If you really think so many flashers got past those problems without an issue that you are having, there's something wrong with how you flashed your ROM. Please try again.

5. Restoring Apps/Data?

Please dont restore system apps, try avoiding restore of data for apps, unless extremely required. It takes slightly less than 10 min to configure 20 apps as per your liking, and saves you the bootloops caused by old data saved for apps.

5. Please keep Nandroids before FLASHING THEMES.

Revert to them if a flash goes bad, so that you can isolate your problems...

[Edit]

6. GPS Problems !!

Well, GPS has been a major issue with Vibrant, will always be I think.

- After the frest install, and the first reboot, go to LbsTestMode using *#3214789650#

- Turn of GPS from the drop down notification bar

- Delete GPS Data

- Go to Application Settings

- Change start mode to Cold Start

- Go back, Turn on GPS using the notification slide down.

- Click on Get Position Test

- You should get a data connection working for around 2-3 seconds and then a list of aGPS satellites. (If you're getting this, the software is right, no issues with the ROM, if not, try the S-GPS-2 Fix, or whichever that worked for you before)

- Anything beyond this causing a GPS issue is a hardware problem.

- Go back to main screen and back to Application Settings

- Change start mode to Hot Start, and you should have a working GPS connection most of the time...

7. Changing the phone model for apps, market etc.

Go to SGS Tools or in root explorer to /system/build.prop and edit.

Change all I897 to T959 and reboot.

Voila, your phone is a Vibrant again... Its that simple... :)

Hope that clears out alot of things.

Ohh and ya, don't forget your courtesy of thanks, and please and questioning, not ordering. Even if you've donated, they don't owe you anything... Not even your bricked, fried, frozen or melted Vibrant.
